About this title

Synopsis

In this captivating collection of prose and poetry authored by members of the baby boom generation, readers will find writing that is provocative, lush, witty, and relatable. Co-editors Crum and Johnson have selected stories, poems, and essays that illustrate the varied experiences of writers of the Ohio River Valley, born between 1946-64. Their voices speak of the river, home, cultural and historical events, coming-of-age, and the coming of aging. This anthology will feel universal to anyone who has ever searched for identity, connection, and a place to call home.
